Jelly Roll - The Little Ass Shed Tour

Three-time Grammy Award-winning Nashville native Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) continues to redefine the word “entertainer.” With the release of his 2026 Grammy Award-winning Best Contemporary Country Album, Beautifully Broken, he topped the Billboard 200 all-genre chart and earned his second No. 1 Billboard Country Album chart debut. Acclaimed by Rolling Stone, Billboard, NPR, and more, Beautifully Broken features No. 1 songs “I Am Not Okay,” “Liar,” and “Heart of Stone.” 2024/2025 has only continued the singer/songwriter's momentum, with numerous nominations and award wins, including his first three Grammys at the 2026 ceremony, his eighth consecutive No. 1 at country radio and chart-topping hits across numerous genre charts, as well as a landmark appearance as the musical guest on SNL’s 50th anniversary season premiere episode.

Solidifying his place as one of music’s most authentic and powerful voices, he’s performed at stages across the world-from his record-breaking Beautifully Broken Tour to the first concert at St. Peter's Square, Grace for the World: The Live Event in Rome. The year also produced his Grammy Award-winning collaboration with Brandon Lake, “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” which debuted on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart and went on to hold a record-breaking number of weeks at No. 1 on Christian radio and took home Song of the Year at the Dove Awards. Beautifully Broken followed his debut country album, Whitsitt Chapel, which made history as the biggest country debut on the Billboard Consumption Chart and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Albums and No. 3 on the Billboard 200. Whitsitt Chapel also garnered his wins for Billboard’s Breakthrough Award, CMA’s New Artist of the Year Award, and the People’s Choice Award for Male Country Artist of the Year as well as additional ACM, CMA, Billboard, AMA and Dove nominations and wins.

Beyond music, Jelly continues his mission—visiting correctional and rehab centers across the U.S. and internationally to help bring music to some of the darkest corners and donating a recording studio to the juvenile center where he was once incarcerated. Praised for both his music and his uniquely authentic power to inspire, Variety notes "for everyone who’s facing the same struggles, Jelly Roll is their Springsteen" while American Songwriter hails him as “a force to be reckoned with.”
